For three centuries, as the Black Death rampaged through Europe and
the Reformation tore the Church apart, tens of thousands were
arrested as witches and subjected to torture and execution,
including being burned alive. This graphic novel examines the
background; the witch hunters' methods; who profited; the brave few
who protested; and how the Enlightenment gradually replaced fear
and superstition with reason and science. Famed witch hunters
Heinrich Kramer, architect of the infamous Malleus Maleficarum, and
Matthew Hopkins, England's notorious "Witchfinder General," are
covered as are the Salem Witch Trials and the last executions in
Europe.
